.....and that, kids, is why they make scattershields. So your ankle doesn't get halfway cut off when shit like this happens

I gotta wonder how this happened though. If he kept the F-Body T56, I know that LS7 swaps usually require a shim for the slave cylinder, otherwise the clutch disengages really high, or doesn't at all. yikes!!!

Being part of the Fbody community, I see shit like this all the time. There are tons of shops doing some shitty installs out there. Problem is, they are cheap and people dont want to spend top dollar to go to a good shop.

at "GRENADE!"

Otherwise....wow, what a clutch failure. I can't believe pieces shot through the firewall or hit/dented steel plating. Wow.

That guy is lucky to have his private parts still. They were laughing. If that were my car I'd be crying.

There goes another five grand. This is why I don't even attempt to drive a manual unless it's on a crappy car.

If this thing was not slipping, as the driver said, the install must have been screwed up somehow.
